Charges of Plagiarism.

Mr.. H. Rider Haggard notes that charges
of plagiarism are easy to make and tlitIlcutto
dsprove; that it is quite impossible for any
body to write anything that does not in some
way touch OH ground which has been already
trodden by others; that the human mind
never thinks a new thought, and that the

Mr., CLEvELAND's SPEECH BEFORE THE
HIBERNIAN SocIETY.-When Preside ut
Cleveland entered the Hibernian Society's
banquet hall, in Philadelphia, on the oc-
casion of the Centennial celebration OF the
adoption of the United States Constitution,
Governor Green, of New Jersey, was re.
spending to the toast, 'sThe Constitution OF
the United States"
Scarcely had five minutes elapsed a1ter
this address had been completed when Inc
chairman again called the meeting to order,
and, saying that this great country mad at
last come to be one great community; that
some men had kept up the animosity and
strife for personal reasons, and in the heat
of nassion had forgotten the American peo-
pie: but as peace had been restored, and
peace would continue, he could with pleas
ure call upon the ''Hon. Grover Cleveland,
the President of the United States, the
Chief Executive of a free people"
AS the President stood up to respond
every one present arose and joined in the
great applause. The President commenc-
ed by saying: 81 never feel more empar-
raised than do when I am called upon to
respond to the toast of Chief Executive
of free people. These words bring WIN VII
them such sense of solemn responsibility
that am glad they are not more oi1en
forced upon me. 1 should not feel that my
part in the celebration of the centennial OF
the adoption of the constitution OF the
United States had been complete unless l
had joined your ancient society in the cele'
bration of this great event. lam sure there
is no corporation, no association, which has
in its charter such liberty and tradition
I am reminded of these words of Wash
ingtop, spoken in 1882, Your society il
noted for the adherence of its members te
the noble cause of liberty These are
priceless words. I noticed from your in
7itation that part of your object was te

are then on your roll join as ardently il

The Presidents speech, which had beef
frequently and emphattcally punctuatet
with applause, came to an end in vas
storm of cheers. The President, havinI
full filed the object of his visit, soon after
wards took his way to the door between
line of men, all of them anxious to gras

DEATH OF MAI. PHILIP POWERS. Maj
Philip II. Powers after lingering illness
of typhoid fever aud blood-poisoning FROM
a carbuncle of more than month, died a
his residence in Clarke county at one O'CLOCK
Sunday morning, 18th inst, in the 59sf
year of his age.
On the 9th Of August, he was nominated
by reclamation for the House of Delegates
by the Democrats of Clarke and Warren,
aud the Warren Sentinel says that if thi,
attack had not compelled his withdrawal
and proved fatal he would have been elect
ed by a triumphant majority, and in the
Legislature he would have been the equa

The PROHIBITIONIsTs.-T LyDchburg
temperance Advocate is the organ in Vir-
ginia of the Good Templars, as well of
temperance people generally. We are glad
to learn from it's own columns that it knows
the danger of meddling with edged tools.
The judicious ProhibitioniSt must often be
made to grieve when he sees or hears the
utterances of the unreasoning among the
advocates of the policy of prohibition.
We quote from the Adrocdte as follows
"a call has been made by a circular let
ter upon the temperance men OF Virginia
to meet in 'Staunton to consider the forma-
ton Of prohibition, or, as iG is sometimes
called, third party in the State. This
call is signed by many names familiar to all
temperance people, true and tried men,
some Of whom are Good Templars, but we
do not see Miller, Keeling, Stubbs, Rucker.
Hawxhurst, Berry, Cochran, Gray, Jones,
Nichols, Castle, Edwards, Wilder, button,
Wood. or Harmon among them, and there
are host of others oonspicuously absent
While we would gladly do all in our power
to further any good movement, any adj
vance in temperance work. the Temperance
Advocate, as organ of the Grand Lodge,
must hold to the beaten track and keep to
the programme the Grand Lodge laid out
for US. This Grand Lodge of Virginia is
carrying the temperance cause in sale,
conservative. but determined manner. Its
programme, as laid down by the last meet
ing, was to keep temperance out of politics,
every man and Good Templar being ex
pected to be an earnest advocate of 90,
principles, and doing such work iu aud out
the party with which he affiliates or to
which he belongs as ais own Judgment
deems prudent and best; or not being OF
any political faith or name, to vote and
work independently, if it shall suit him tc
do so, using his Individual Judgment in these
matters, as it is the right of every flee
man,
Why should there be two opinions
amongst Democratic Virginiaps on this
point? Isn't it we'll known that Malone
has his forces in hand and that his ranks
cannot be broken by the Prohibitionists mol
by any other organization or party2 In a
word, one hundred thousand negroes will
vote the Malone ticket this fall, whether
the Prohibitionists run-any candidates for
the Legislature or not. To state the case
differently, the Prohibitionists, by attempt
ing to elect candidates of their own, would
succeed only in defeating the Democratic
Candidates and electing the Malone can
didates. That is to say, the Prohibitionsts

Pure Air For Birds.

"Do you mean To tell me, said
London bird-fancicr 10 customer,
''that bad air hurts little birds?"
There can not be doubt about il"
was the reply. Il oan not vouch for it
on my own authority, but have read
in n book, written by one who certain
iy knew what he was writing about,
and he SAYS that If canary, i'm its
cage, is hung beneath the curtains of
beG on which two adult persons are
sleeping, the bird will be found dead in
the morning. The vitiated air will
have killed it.. "And you were flats
enough to believe such CANNON as
that, eh?' The wrinkled viSage of the
fancier lit with grin as he unhitched
from nail Immediately above his own
dreadful bedstead what looked like
neatly-madc little box, about twelve
inches square, and shut in on all sides.
except that in one of the panels there
was Il round hole the circumference of
n crown piece. "You have just come
in time he remarked, ''for me to
prove to YOU that what that book-writ-
ing chap has to say about it is no bet
Ati btittii a. IttlAh VI tltC. w lldb NHOhiO
you say, now, was in this boxP" My
friend took il in his hands, and at once
pronounced that whatever it was in the
box it was alive. fright you are, alive
and well and hearty, I'll wager said
the swcet-meat maker. oIt's chat
finch that's inside, and he's been shut
up like you see for better than fort
night. 1t is that time ago when he
began to mott, and served him Ike
serve 'em ail-likc all fanciers serve
'em-I clappcd him, cage and all, in
this molting box, and there he's been
ever since without seeing daylight,
and with no more fresh air than could
get to him through this small hole.
Now, I'll fetch him out, and YOU shall
see how much the worse he looks for
wishiated air, as you call it.. Then
withdrawing one of the sliding panels
from the box an Internationally foul
and filthy cage was revealed, and on
its perch stood cha1linch, bright eyed
and healthy looking, and with its new
plumage in splendid condition. The
customer was amazed Git was marvel
Gus that it should be SO, but it is simply
a fact that hundreds of the best OF
London's feathered songsters are
''molted off, in the same way), and
was fain TO admit that the bird looked
well. He couldn't look better re-
sponded the grub5y old toffee-maker
triumphantly; "and now what about
your open windows and your precious
fresh breezes Il blowing in, and which
4
had kin at home i'll, and which, as
you have said, is almost the same thing
as a small bird? Melting is sickness,
don't you know, and my plan is to
bung 'em up close and sweat it out Of
'em. And you may depend on 1t,
mister, if human young 'uns was served
in something like the same way when
they was took bad with any complaint,
people wouldn't have half the trouble
with them. -

How 70 Drink Water.

The leading medical journal of
France has published pamphlet pro-
testing against the cxtrayagant use Of
artificial mineral waters, which, it sets
forth, do the double damage Of cooling
the stomach, thus laying the founda-
ton for gastric cataI.rh, while the lime.
stone held in. deposit in the carbonated
waters finds its way to the kidneys,
and eventually produces Bright's
disease. The pamphlet also protests
against ice-water as provocative OF
catarIh in the stomach. 1t further
says: Water siiOald be drunk cool,
but Eot icc;l. with the juice of a quarter
or half a lemon in it. Mineral water
should also be drank with dash of
lemon. Water sliouil always be swal-
